Seres vivos ou não, os vírus são muito importantes na produção de vacinas

Abstract

In Brazil, since the advent of the smallpox vaccination campaign in the 1960s, the expansion of research that collaborates for the insertion of new vaccines made available to the population through the PNI (National Immunization Program) has been intensified, which was designed over a decade. By establishing norms and legislation it has had an impact on the eradication and control of the main diseases that were often lethal for those infected, as occurred with smallpox, rubella, measles, tuberculosis, etc. The first National Immunization Campaign against Poliomyelitis took place in 1980 and, so far, its expansion attenuated or inactivated immunizers that are produced by important microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. Despite the importance and positive effects that vaccines portray over time in Brazilian and world society, the fact is that the 2020 pandemic caused by SARs-Cov-19 culminated in a global economic crisis, so there were immense challenges regarding the urgency to further intensify the teaching of Biology in a way that was relevant to school use and also applicable in the student's life furthermore the society in general. A worrying highlight that was perceived during the pandemic period was that while a large part of the population noticed the emergence for a vaccine that would prevent their loved ones from dying, another significant part questioned and rejected the use of vaccine, as well as indicating in a way not endorsed by infectologists, drugs and medications whose indications and dosages did not match the pathological agent. The reflection of this discussion and controversy to what science already brought in literature about the causative agent of this pandemic ran in classrooms, where part of the students translated their doubts and manifestations against the application of the vaccine into their families. In this sense, the proposal for this Professional Master's Conclusion Work is important in the vaccine production process. The proposal will be developed by using the methodology of the investigative teaching process in order to achieve through varied strategies and the use of technology and the internet network, greater involvement of students and better learning on the subject, so that they can, by the end of the activities, understand what viruses are, how vaccines are produced and act in our body, in addition still become leading researchers of their time and era, obtaining the skills and abilities to refute what is fake and filter what is a fact and science to consolidate learning with the development of a game involving the main concepts on the subject.
